Vandalism at Lviv Airport

Excuse me for posting in English.

Someone removed all tags from the runway at Lviv airport - see way 178489624. It seems that a couple of helipads were also mutilated, I still need to investigate. I consider this deliberate vandalism, probably related to the current state of war.

I will restore all the tags as they were; but is there anything we can do to prevent this? The data working group DWG could block the account, but that will take some time.

PS I see mapper @Gorozan also working on reverting.

Re: Vandalism at Lviv Airport

Those who master German language could consult https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=75001 - strong consensus that it is totally useless to modify our database in function of this deplorable war. It is even stated that OSM should not make itself a party in the war - whatever the personal opinions of various contributors.

Re: Vandalism at Lviv Airport

Hello, Jan
What do you mean by vandalism? That the Russians are destroying our airports?

You are referring to the reverts of another mapper. Although I understand that all these deletions do not make sense. But his motives are alarming to me. I do not believe that a person from Russia who has never been related to Ukraine is worried about the preservation of our airports. I suspect that he wants us all to be killed as in the Bucha. I believe that such users have no place in OSM
